We haven’t been a democracy since we allowed companies to buy politicians. We’ve had two sides to choose from, kind of, which are: ‘hardly does anything’ and ‘actively makes everything worse for everyone immediately’.
Genocide wasn’t on the ballot. Anyone who thought trump would stop it was wrong, as anyone who thought about it for a second had been telling them.
So now that those are out of the way, how does that idealistic high horse help every person whose life is now actively worse now?
Direct action does not mean “don’t also vote to make it harder for the fascists.”
Only two options were valid for the majority of election positions. We could have bought more time to fill local positions with third parties and progressives, but instead we’re building concentration camps and cutting any progress we’ve made in the last 20 years.

so why are you trying to get people to engage in a sham, then? are you working with the fascists to try and dampen direct action?
